This Tales from the Crypt story was episode 13 from season 5, written & directed by W. Peter Iliff this was the last story from season 5 & is a pretty weak way to round it off. The script which is far from the show's finest 30 odd minutes was based on a story from 'The Haunt of Fear' comic book & doesn't contain any horror elements at all, there are no supernatural or sci-fi elements either & this episode feels like a crime drama which is not why what I want to see when I watch Tales from the Crypt. The character's are poor especially the comedy relief hit-man & the old woman who tries to act hard. Then there's the way the narrative plays out with all sorts of annoying flashbacks which make this episode rather predictable as pretty much the whole story is laid down within the first 5 minutes & it's a 'how I got there' type plot. At only 25 minutes in length this is one of the shorter episodes & it's a good job because there's little here for Crypt fans to enjoy, even the twist ending makes little sense, is forgettable & has zero impact.
This one looks good as usual with decent production values & it's well made. Apart from some bloody gun shot wounds there's no gore, it's not scary, it has no tension or atmosphere & I'm not really sure why this story was chosen to be made into a Tales from the Crypt episode & I seriously doubt anyone would particularly miss it if it hadn't been. The acting isn't great & nothing to write home about.
Till Death Do We Part is a pretty weak crime thriller orientated Tales from the Crypt episode that does little to distinguish itself in an otherwise generally excellent series.
